The introduction of Copilot+ PCs by Microsoft could change the PC landscape for Qualcomm, Apple and all the PC OEMs.

While the computer industry continues to struggle with the definition of an AI PC, Microsoft came out at its recent Build conference to define what it believes an advanced AI PC should be—namely, a Copilot+ PC. While it remains clear that different companies use varying definitions of the AI PC, Microsoft’s appears to be both the narrowest and the broadest, depending on which angle you’re looking from.

Microsoft’s Surface Pro and Surface Laptop 13 will use the Snapdragon X Plus and X Elite, while the Surface Laptop 15 is available only with the Snapdragon X Elite. This configuration allows Microsoft to offer the Surface Laptop 13 and Surface Laptop 15 starting at $999 with 16GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. Compared to Apple, which offers the M3 MacBook at $1,099 with 256GB of storage, this is objectively a better deal in terms of price and performance.

At Microsoft’s Copilot+ event in Redmond, the company also announced a plethora of Copilot+ PC partners, including all of the world’s leading PC OEMs. While Microsoft did mention Intel and AMD at the event, neither of them produce Arm-based chips; both feature the legacy x86 instruction set that Microsoft has built on for pretty much my entire life until now.
